24-Hour Live in Caregivers

When your aging parent begins to need additional support during the day, at night, or around the clock, that doesn’t mean he or she needs to leave the home to go to an assisted living facility or nursing home. BrightStar Care of Central St. Louis County offers 24-hour home care services when your loved one needs either continuous assistance in daily tasks or short-term help while recovering from medical procedures. Situations may vary, and no one client care plan fits all, but one thing is certain: our priority is to provide care and support for your loved one with the highest level of care.

Is 24-Hour Home Care Right for Us?

If your elderly parent or loved one lives alone and you are struggling to keep up with their needs and stressing yourself out, 24-hour home care can be a solution. It can be set up quickly and provides peace of mind and assurance for individuals who are recovering from an illness or injury, or who are experiencing a change in condition that requires someone to be available to provide assistance any time of day.

Additionally, not all 24-hour care situations require permanent support. For instance, if you’re caring for a loved one but don’t want to leave him or her alone while you go out of town, BrightStar Care can provide 24-hour home care to assist with safety needs while living independently.

There are many quality of life benefits for seniors who receive 24-hour home care, including:

Aging in Place – Seniors can feel fulfilled by living in their own homes longer, and couples don’t need to be separated for care. They can feel safe in the comforts of home even when they can no longer manage tasks like housekeeping, grocery shopping, transportation, or personal care.

Safety – From chronic health issues to memory loss, some seniors have conditions that put them at risk for falls or other safety concerns. Having a 24-hour care plan in place can assure your loved has the support they need to stay safe at home.

Activities & Entertainment – Many seniors have a difficult time continuing to do the things they love without extra help. A home health aide can help your loved one live a life he or she loves by facilitating activity time and helping with special hobbies and interests.

Reduce Home Health Aide Burnout – We know you love your aging parent, but you don’t have to do this alone. Let our specialized home health aides be your daily eyes and ears to reduce the risk of family or personal stress.

What is a Live-In Home Health Aide?

A live-in home health aide resides in the client’s home and provides consistent 1-on-1 help on a daily basis. They are trained in 24-hour care and are able to assist when your loved one has difficulty with daily functions like sleeping, bathing, eating, and bathroom (toileting) assistance. Additionally, they can provide hands-on personal care, manage the household, and assist with special activities. Based on your loved one’s needs and location, BrightStar Care can arrange 24-hour live-in care.
